Lea Rowing Club
Voting period ends on 18 Dec 2012 at 10:39:56 (UTC)
 * Reason:I'm nominating this as an image showing the atmosphere and the range of social and sporting activity at a small rowing club: it's not to show boats or boat houses which are well represented on Wikimedia, and the rowing club itself is not noteworthy. This is chosen from many shots because it shows so many different things happening, like those Victorian conversation piece paintings, as well as a decent stretch of the water to give an idea of the setting. I'm a bit worried about the lighting, bright sunshine and deep shadows, but I guess I'll soon find out what people think about that - I prefer it not manipulated to lighten the shadows, although that would make the detail clearer.

 * Oppose The atmosphere of the image is nice, and I think that the lighting etc is fine, however I think the composition is too tight on the bottom, left and right. In other words, too many things feel chopped off. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:57, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Agree with JJ Harrison - I would like to see a wider shot... gaz hiley  08:58, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose I have to agree with the above, a busy shot is fine but the framing looks off. Cat-five  t  c   13:00, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
